Pro's n Con's
2

Funny how pro's and con's differ for everyone. For me, some of your con's are my pro's.

"Cons - not particularly weather resistant, needs a grip, no thumb rest, limited function buttons, no ISO wheel, slotted strap mounts, single card slot, SD card a bit of a nightmare to get out, a bit too minimalist"

Lack of a grip/thumb rest and limited buttons are all Pro's for me because those attributes align with it's super clean, form follows function design.

Also the lack of an ISO dial, especially Fujifilms latest pull up turn design, is definitely a pro. Slotted strap mounts, OMG so much better than those post style lugs that dig into your shooting hand!

The fiddly single card slot, agreed there, but not a deal breaker by any means.

Lastly, it's minimalism it's it's  biggest pro. There are three (four if you count the 2s) other X-E designs out there with "more", nice to see Fujifilm go minimal on this one to make it stand out from the rest.

Hand's down the most attractive XE camera Fujifilm has designed. We just need more pancake lens options. The smaller and thinner the lenses, the better.

The 18mm and 27mm are good starts, I'd like to see a 40mm pancake with good close focus capabilities (similar to the size of the Pentax 40mm f/2.8).
